A Message From Jakie is a heart warming intimate story of love and loss. Like a growing number of people each year, the author and his family were touched by cancer. At only age 46, the author’s vibrant, creative, loving wife was struck with the fatal disease. In this book, the author candidly shares his feelings while taking care of his wife during her last days, his remembrances of better times, and how he faired after her passing. In the process, he also illustrates the picture of a really amazing woman.
Reading A Message From Jakie exposed a mixture of emotions. I felt awed by this woman’s grace and strength. I was saddened and felt deeply distraught for the family. I also felt pride and hope in the author’s message that love isn’t extinguished by death and that moving on with your life afterwards is actually a tribute to the strength and enduring nature of love.
